Frequently Asked Questions
What is palette conversion?
Each pixel in your image is matched to the closest color in the selected retro palette. The result looks like it could run on that console.
When should I use dithering?
None: Best for pixel art with flat colors.
Floyd-Steinberg: Best for photos or images with gradients.
Ordered: For a classic retro dithering pattern.
Can I use my own palette?
This tool uses preset retro console palettes. For custom palettes, try the Palette Changer tool.
